Caught in the Web: Reaction to the Lakers' 2010-2011 schedule
--The Times' Broderick Turner highlights the main parts of the Lakers' 2010-2011 schedule.
--The Orange County Register's Kevin Ding provides his preseason predictions.
--Fox Sports West's Michael Eaves contends that the criticism regarding Shaquille O'Neal from Laker fans is unwarranted and that his number should be retired. Meanwhile, Lisa Leslie tells 710 ESPN's Steve Mason and John Ireland that the Lakers shouldn't retire O'Neal's number.
--NBA.com's Scott Howard-Cooper notes how Miami's schedule will prove more difficult than it will be for the Lakers.
--Craig Sager and Chris Webber debate in the video below on whether anyone can unseat the Lakers next season.
--ESPN Los Angeles' Brian Kamenetzky shares his take on the schedule.
--Fox Sports' Charley Rosen compares the skillsets of Andrew Bynum and Andrew Bogut. Rosen also lists Lakers guard Derek Fisher on the NBA's all-underrated team.
--Lakers.com's Mike Trudell highlights the main games from the Lakers' upcoming schedule.
--ESPN.com's Royce Webb breaks down the Western Conference.
--Forum Blue and Gold's Darius Soriano reviews D.J. Mbenga's performance from last season.
Tweet of the Day:"Don't think for one min that I haven't been taking mental notes of everyone taking shots at me this summer. And I mean everyone!" -- KingJames (Miami Heat forward LeBron James)
Reader Comment of the Day:"My reaction is schedule, schmedule. All I care about is that they forever abandon the "turn it on" mentality and play all out from the git go. With a stronger bench, this should be a no-brainer, with less minutes for the starters to keep 'em fresh for the real season. Speaking of which, THAT's the schedule I can get excited for" -- justanothermambafan

SHEDULES OUT
The schedule is out what can I say, lets see how many teams the Lakers will slay
If I said all would that be wrong, But a healthy Lakers team is looking mighty strong
You got Pretenders & contenders but you’ll see, when the season is over that’s all they will be
This season will end just as it began, with The Lakers once again the reigning Champs my friend
So read the schedules if you want too, Then put your faith in The Freakin Lakers coming thru
With Kobe, Ron Ron, Dfish and Gasol, All I can say is WE GOT THIS Y’ALL

This postseason
run of the Lakers is like Fine Art. Wait, just wait on it, & behold the beauty @LAKERMIKE
*_________________________________________________________________________
In my mind's eye, both the Lakers and Celtics are rushing towards each other in the fashion that they have in years past. Matching each other, blow-for-blow, against all-comers until the time to meet together arrives. They are looking squarely in the others direction while they simultaneously brush aside any with the misguided notion that they are also contenders. It is the same as how Bruce Lee will casually vanquish all of the Big Boss' henchmen on his way to the real dance. It is all about Boston. It has always been about Boston. Boston is the only franchise that has earned our respect...and our derision. @ FEARLESS

Kobe can win THROUGH his team mates. He can win WITH his team mates. He can win DEFERRING to his team mates. He can win IN SPITE OF his team mates. He can win INSTEAD of his team mates. He can even win BY HIMSELF (just ask Dallas & Toronto). Champions are forged in the 4th QUARTER. Franchises are defined in the 4th QUARTER. Dynasties are cemented in the 4th QUARTER. Sit back & watch PJ, Kobe & Fish orchestrate this symphony we call Lakers basketball to another parade down Figueroa Blvd.@ FEARLESS

Lakers Today, Lakers Tomorrow, Lakers Forever!! What Do We Play For, More Rings!! @ JON K http://tinyurl.com/ylc9dvd
*_____________________________________________________________________
WHO ARE WE!! ALL TOGETHER:
We’re the World Champion LA Lakers , we’ve won (16) Rings
(10) of the 50 Greatest players played under our wings
Lakers Dynastiy Number (4) is well on it’s way
We have more Dynasties than others have Titles in the NBA
Best Winning Percentage in History, can’t ask for more
You want Hall of Fame Coaches, Check it, we’ve had (Four)
We got the (2) Time Finals MVP, you know that’s Kobe Bryant
Who scored more points than an entire team without even trying
He scored 81 points in a game & could have scored much more
But Rings not number of points is what Black Mamba plays for.
We got The Logo Jerry West & 1st Great center George Mikan
The Legendary Elgin Baylor & Magic Johnson the Icon.
We’ve had great centers like Shaq, Wilt & of course Kareem
Super guards Worthy, Goodrich & Silk played on the Laker team
Karl Malone & Gary Payton, A glove & Mailman we just leased
A (11) time Title Winning Coach who mastered Zen in the East
Chick Hearn the Legend, Broadcasted our Lakers Games
Now he’s Broadcasting from Heaven & is in the Hall of Fame
We got Sports Winningest & Best Owner, Kudos Dr. Jerry Buss
We play for Rings & Rings only , which is why teams fear us.
That’s just a summary of our Resume, we don’t talk we Do.
We the Freakin Champion LA Lakers, Who the Hell are You
Posted by: Mamba24 | August 11, 2010 at 08:03 AM
Hey just for FYI purposes. I traveled back East to visit family and will be there for the next two weeks. I'm keeping this blog active and that won't be an issue since most family and friends work during the day, but I won't be around for anything that takes place in L.A. For example, Shannon Brown is scheduled to have a press conference today at 12:30 p.m. in El Segundo so there unfortunately won't be any video coverage from my end. Nonetheless, Brad Turner will be there and will file a report from the press conference. Everything is pretty quiet with free agency wrapped up and the schedule released, but if any other press conferences were to take place in the next two weeks, either Mike Bresnahan, Brad Turner or a fill in will provide reports to keep you guys in the loop.

Mamba24 - For sure. I'm completely with you. I'll be spending lots of time with family and friends. Even going to NYC for a few days, catching a few baseball games in DC and Baltimore. So it should be fun. Just wanted to assure you though that the blog will still be in good hands.

Justa with RCOD - way to go!
Lots of good reading today with the schedules being analyzed to death. But that can wait for tonight, it's more fun for me to post before reading all the "stuff" to say hello to the morning crew....
Thanks Mamba24 for the everpresent inclusion in the morning roll call. "Schedules Out" poem today was spot on!

@RICK… Loved the Transcript Behind the Tweet. I suspect that your imagination may be closer to the truth than most bloggers realize. It’s obvious that Stern is mightily invested in King James legacy. Too bad that it may end up tarnishing Stern’s own legacy. Ironically, that, in and of itself, is par for the course for Stern.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
@EDWIN… “Joining a blog is really a mind exercise and a training ground on how you relate yourself to your friends, close family ties, co-employees and acquaintances in the real world.” Well said, my friend. Thank you for always standing up for courtesy and civility. Leave the rudeness and crudeness to the trolls.

To whom it may concern,
There will be no Star Trek convention attending by yours truly. Not now. Not ever. It was a 1 time thing that ended badly (for my date).
If you want to attend a Star Trek convention, I suggest you get in touch with Mamba24. He may not be able to attend himself, seeing as how there are no purple thong wearing aliens, but he will most likely be able to set you in the right direction. If he can't accomodate your wishes, then you're SOL.
Sorry folks. Thanks for your kind attention to this matter.
Now back to your previously scheduled event.
justa
PS - Mamba24 - really THICK neck padding may be required. LOL!!!

Hate StarTrek conventions that much huh? LMAO! Congrats on the RCOTD Justa & I promise never again to mention the convention that shall remain nameless. And to show my penance I will remove myself from the Blog for the rest of the day while I go cancel my wedding plans with my ex. Oh by the way that synchronicity thing I was talking about yesterday...In case you didn't notice, it happened again. So I want you to meditate on one word today Justa...DESTINY!!! LMAO!!! Resistsance is Futile!
Posted by: Mamba24 | August 11, 2010 at 09:40 AM
What should the Lakers do with Sasha? Just trade him for nothing to dump his salary for Buss' sake to save $10 million? Trade him (maybe with one of the draft picks) for another valuable addtion? sharp shooter? big body? quick PG? Or keep him to see Maria on the courtside?

@LEWSTRS, I have to sneak on and say good morning to you sir.
I promised someone I would do penenace by not Blogging the rest of the day. Actually LRob and my post count were remarkably close. Of course the content of his posts blew mine away so on that alone he beats me. You sir however are a different story. Right up to the last few pages you were Leading Lewstrs then suddenly you just disappeared. But since there is no prize who really cares. DAMNIT I REALLY WANTED THAT PRIZE!!! Lol! have a good day sir!
@Nemaia Faletogo, Good morning sir! Always good to see a post from you. Thank you for the compliment but...GOD##@^&&&** I really wanted that 500 post prize. What does it matter if a man possess the world but no Virtual Kiss from Justa? It is all then for naught, FOR NAUGHT I SAY!! OH THE HUMANITY!!

Sasha needs a shave and a haircut. Sorry, ladies. I know all of the Vujachicks will get all upset, but he does play better without that ridiculous hair and headband. This past season was a sort of melding of the long & short haired Sashas. Go old school and chop it, bro. You are the anit-Samson (not Ralph, stupid 1986 playoffs).
DBDH!

@PUDDLE… ROFLMAO. I saw that video the other day. Give me my nuggets, damn it.
Although, I do have to say that it is annoying when they refuse to sell you breakfast if
you are even one minute past the 10:30 a.m. deadline. The main rule to learn at any
fast food joint is to check your order before leaving the window or be surprised.

@PUDDLE & LEWSTERS… That reminds me of one of my favorite scenes from Ron Howard’s Night Shift with the great Michael Keaton, Shelley Long, and Henry Winkler where Henry cannot get the deli to deliver a sandwich without mayonnaise. Great flick, especially Keaton’s idea for them to be pimps and the famous sock trick. LOL. Man, that was one funny movie. From this to Batman, Michael Keaton was great.

dimemag.com is reporting a four team trade involving Rockets, Pacers, New Orleans and Nets.
NO gets Ariza and trades away D. collison and J. Posey.
Houston gets Cortney Lee and trades away Ariza.
Pacers get D. Collison and J. Posey and trade away T. Murphy
Nets get Troy Murphy and trade away Courtney Lee.
I really like who the Pacers are getting. D. Collison is a guy I can see in a Lakers uniform. The trade is not official yet.

My proposal:
Lakers take the place of Indiana and send L. Odom and Sasha Vujacic to the Nets and receive. D. Collison and Posey from NO, and Terrence Williams from NJ.
Troy Murphy ----- $ 11,968.00
Odom and Sasha ---- $ 13,670.00
D. Collison and T. Williams and Posey = $ 10,730.00 *Note Posey has an expiring contract.
Collison and Williams are two up and coming stars in the league. We do have to get younger and start building for the future while maintaining our starting core.
Of course we don't need Posey and we would be trading an extremely valuable player in Odom as we try to threepeat, but Posey would be more tradeable than Sasha for a PF. The key would be Caracter and Bynum's health. I know we don't want to trust a rookie in our quest to another Championship. Would Sheed sign with the Lakers? Can we turn the tables on the Ceptics? Flame suit on!

King James mental notes? Sounds foreign to me. His mentality, evidently, focused on having fun like taking imaginary pics before games, imaginary baseball batting poses, and yea several imaginary NBA championships.This guy is a loser, quitting in the middle of the playoffs, just completely giving up competing in the series with the Celtics, and he could not claim he had no support afterall the Cavs had the best season record in the NBA. Obviously he took his talents to the dump.

Let's give Little Jimmy a break. At least until he has several one on one sessions with Ron Ron's therapist.

Because of his age and weight, Shaquille O'Neal may not be able to keep up with the Celtics. So, his appropriate name might be:
Cel-Shaq
